Hi Achim,

Thanks for the reply.

Indeed one could and perhaps I ought to have; my data was irregular, so I
didn't have the hope of quickly creating a robust macro. Since I had to
select regions by hand, a macro didn't seem worth it for the kill,
invocation of the datetime prompt, and yank within.

It just seemed that since orgmode parse text yanked into the dt prompt, it
would be in keeping with the general spirit of the mode to parse selected
text, too. But, as I said, it isn't a big deal.

I've weak elisp and know nothing of orgs internals. But, if there's no
uptake, maybe that'd be a small enough coding task for ?e to take some steps
to learning :-)

Best,

Brian vdB
